Obituary..

DIED-At his residence in Ironton, We'd
nesday, September 7th, at $3.50 O'Clock p. NJ,
Rev. JOHN DONALDSON, aged 81 years, .
months and % days.
John Donaldson was born March 10th,
1906, in Pennsylvania, and soon after moved
to Wheeling, Va, where his boyhood days
were passed. After full course jim Jener-
son College in Cannonsburg, Pa, he also
graduated at the Theological College at Allie
gheny City, of the same state. He began
preaching at place near Columbus, Ohio,
and the same year was married to Miss s. NJ.
Miner, who, with one daughter. survives
him. In 1858, he, with his family, moved to
Cape Girardeau, No., and after short res.
idenee there, came to IrontOn, where he has
lived ever since. OF his work here il is
scarcely necessary for us to speak. For
years he filled the pulpit of the First Pres
byterian Church, when he was finally retired
because of the bodily infrmities which came
with increasing age. To his income as re-
tired minister he added somewhat by his
handicraft in matchmaking, etc. While he
died not rich in this worlds goods, his later
years were passed in the calm content nent
which comes from a knowledge Of life's
work we'll performed and a happy removal
from the terrors of want. He died peace
fully, as became him, and with no misgiving
as to the future.
The funeral, which was largely attended,
took place from the PRESBYTERIAN Church on
the 9th, at 10 O'Clock A. M, and the remains
were put to final rest in the Masonic Gene
terry.

Ed. Registster-Having been engaged IN
the schoolroom for the past six weeks and
other things of importance to attend to,
haven't had time to write.
The continued drouth was somewhat
broken by a foe shower the 11th inst, which
was needed very much; the ground was so
dry and hard that farmers could not plow
for wheat; and we haven't had enough rain
yet to make it plow good. Some have wheat
sowed and some have not.
The brick kiln was fired last Monday and
completed Friday, and was dedicated by the
young people on Wednesday night by dane

wishes brick, they will do well to call on Mr..
HUFF, as he is ready to sell them.

Arcadia Items.

Every thing seems to be getting in little
better shape over here now. From what
can learn, we are soon to have the trains
here again feeding the passengers at the Ar
cadia House. We don't know what i'm
provement will be made on the property but
hope to see a new building within the next
twelve months. There are two or there
parties in the suburbs of town who aim to
survey off some nice building lots from their
land and sell the lots below cost. The object
is to induce people to settle in Arcadia.
With Messrs. Thomson and Turner in our
midst we think it very probable that others
will come and purchase summer homes.

The Results.

Bradstreets figures up the results,
thus far, of the operation Of the in.
terstate commerce law thus:
First-That, aside from transconti
mental rates, the average nominal in
crease as compared with former rates
is not sufficient to account for the
disturbance caused by the change.
Second-That late nominal rates
were, to those who shipped large
quantities of merchandise or produce,
more honored in the breach that the
observance In short, than "cut rates"
to the trade were, prior to April 4th,
more nearly the rule than the excep.
ton.
Third-That advances In railway
rates east of the Missouri river from
former (actual) rates to those now
required, range from 20 to 40 per
cent.
Fourth-That there are a few in
creases below 10 per cent and some
above 40 per cent, not including
transcontinental rates, which range
from 800 to 700 per cent. higher and
become prohibitive.
Fifth That the new rates are
quoted firm, and that some Of the
loudest complaints naturally come
from shippers who have heretofore
enjoyed the larger rebates.
Sixth-That the trunk line rail
way companies are obliged to ar
range many new special rates for
specific articles, in order to prevent
rulnous discrimination against spec
ial industries through long and short
haul rates favorlng similar indus
tries elsewhere.
Seventh That miner (lnterior)
shipping points are yet in many
cases without rate from the centers
Of distribution, owing to the inability
of the railways thus far to arrange
through schedule of rates" on a
mutually satisfactory basis.
Eighth-That the bulk of the
.4ocal business" supplied from New
York city is required to pay from 10
TO 10 per cent. higher freight charg
es than heretofore, and
nth-Tbat the leading traffic
officials OF the country are as hard at
work to day as at any previous time
endeavoring to adjust the conditions
TO meet the demands of clamorous
shippers and to prevent what has
been regarded as the regular bust
ness OF the companies from seeking
other lines or water routes.
The Russellville Democrat., 1887-04-27

The language and the tenor of the
act wholly fail TO justify railroad
managers, If any such there be, who
refuse to accept resp possibilities, de-
cline to offer rates, neglect to annouce
conditions Of traffic, embarrass the
customary inter change of business
and impose stagnatiOn upon trade,
while they "stick in the bark Of the
phrases and expressions OF the law,
inventing doubts and imagining dan
gers. 1t is sill more unjustifiabie
for railroad companies to make use
OF the general clauses Of the law, ig-
noring its modifying and enlarging
words and formulas, in order to I'm
pose additional burdens upon local
tiles, trades professions, manufactu
rers, consumers, classes of travel
ers or employees, stralning and re-
pressing every construction In favor
of the corporate treasury, and quo
ting the new law as their authority
for all manner Of petty exactions.
The powers of the commission are
entirely adequate to cope With such
conduct, the existence of which is
not affirmed, although it has been
somewhat publicly suggested. The
same statute which enacts that
charges for like service shall be uni
form to all, also provides that
charges in every case, and for every
kind and class of service, shall be
reasonable and just. As the law is
practically applied, it is said to con
tain many elements of advan tage to
the econmical ard profitable man
agement of the business Of the car
riers, which they have not been
slow to apprehend and take the ben
eft of. The commission ventures to
express the hope that with this ex-
PLANTATION respecting the mutual func-
tions Of the carriers and the Com
missioners in carrying the law into
effect according to its true intent
and meaning there will be no lack of
good faith and active co operation in
continuing the normal activity of ev-
ery,kind of reputable industry and
traffic throughout the land, under
favorable, fair and reasonable terms,
conceding frankly to the people all
the rights, benefits, advantages and
equal privileges which the "act to
regulate commerce" was intended
to secure.
